Somos el Viento – Fragments

Composer and producer Óliver del Barrio (Somos el Viento) creates an attractive instrumental composition titled “Fragments,” which is equally experimental and ambient in nature. The music begins with deep, fuzzy layers of electric guitar covered in reverb and echo, creating a sorrowful but impressive atmosphere similar of artists like Boris and Sunn O)). This introduction creates an extraterrestrial atmosphere, as if we’re flying across an endless hell, with each note striking with meaning. At 1:01, the sound becomes clear, and the guitar and bass begin a complex, post-rock-inspired conversation. The interaction between these instruments highlights del Barrio’s outstanding orchestration, with stoner rock elements providing an enigmatic dimension to the sound. Despite the clarity given here, a DIY attitude remains, adding a raw and distinct flavor to the track’s “future rock” mentality. “Fragments” is a beautifully work that uses detailed orchestration and atmospheric dimension to create an impression of immense wonder. Fans of experimental rock and ambient soundscapes will be fascinated by its spacey, breathtaking vibe. Listen to this with an open mind and let yourself to be transferred to a magical cosmos.
